Took a peek at your site and see you&#39;ve been blogging a while, so I&#39;m doubly pleased that you&#39;re interested here. Those are some photogenic kids you have, in case nobody&#39;s ever mentioned it.<br /><br />smiles,<br />rbRobert Braulthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10075269686047305038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6655370700688657486.post-77465856742185544932009-07-04T12:09:18.341-07:002009-07-04T12:09:18.341-07:00I am delighted to just now find your blog. I&#39;ll tell you what led me, too. I found a quote on someone else&#39;s blog about the little things in life. I cherished the words and had to look up the name of its author. Having done this many times before, I wondered if you truly existed because so many quotes have been meddled with and end up having no real author at all. But there you were, listed under &quot;robertbrault.com&quot; and so here I am. <br /><br />This is delicious reading. I&#39;ll anxiously await August 15th.<br /><br />~ShayeShayehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10473467039770299975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6655370700688657486.post-16485319181020596672009-06-25T11:39:35.994-07:002009-06-25T11:39:35.994-07:00Marlene, thank YOU. I have done nothing to deserve such a reliable commentator. Wait, yes I have. No, actually I haven&#39;t.<br /><br /><br />Liz, your kindness is too much, really. But thank you. That smoke alarm bit is worthy of a full-blown blog. I&#39;ve been in the same silly situation myself and could be again, since I don&#39;t remember how I turned it off. I&#39;m also a slow reader, mostly because I&#39;m always going off on some thought tangent.<br /><br />Liz, I really appreciate your comment above.<br /><br />smiles both,<br />rbRobert Braulthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10075269686047305038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6655370700688657486.post-53363815525142427122009-06-25T09:53:26.187-07:002009-06-25T09:53:26.187-07:00I love reading your snippets and quotes, but I have to say that I love reading your longer posts as well. They are well thought out and very entertaining. I, myself, am not a speed-reader. I can read fast if I need to (like if my smoke alarms are blaring because my 16 year old son was playing with matches in his room and the smoke made the alarms go off at 10:30 at night and now the smoke alarms are waking up the entire neighborhood and I need to know how to make them STOP!) but generally, I like to read s-l-o-w-l-y and savor the essense of whatever it is that I&#39;m reading. So,that being said, not only did I read your entire post...I read it twice, just for the purpose of savoring. And if YOU are a true speed-reader, that should bring you to this:<br /><br />Hey, rb, I like reading your stuff.Lizhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07585380084930137680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6655370700688657486.post-11946396756312242082009-06-25T06:42:53.772-07:002009-06-25T06:42:53.772-07:00(smiling) Thank You.Marlenehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05995976784483093896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6655370700688657486.post-7061814719873332022009-06-25T05:25:29.485-07:002009-06-25T05:25:29.485-07:00Maria, I like a woman who says she&#39;s going to spend her summer mornings enjoying a second cup of coffee and then, by golly, goes ahead and does it. Women, as you know, so often change their minds (or at least they did in my generation.)<br /><br />smiles, <br />rbRobert Braulthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10075269686047305038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6655370700688657486.post-55543037819790616692009-06-25T04:32:27.256-07:002009-06-25T04:32:27.256-07:00Only on my second cup of coffee...
